Meanwhile the Sand Creek indians of eastern
Colorado had given little trouble; force
under Col. Chivington fell upon them

Early in 1868 Gen. p u. Conner fell on the

camp on Bear river, Idaho, slaughtered some
hundreds and brought the rest TO terms. In

cred all the border settlers for 200 miles, save
those who escaped to the larger towns and

and partially punished. The slaughter of

Gen. Custer, and of the Piega.s by force
sent by Gen. Sheridan, next excited atten-
tior, and the latter was severely denounced
Both these, however, were soon forgotten in

regretted as the Crows have not usually been
among the troublesome Indians. Indeed,
during most of this century they have been
at war with those who were at war with the
United States The Sioux and Picgans are
their hereditary enemies But the usual
difficulties arose between the Indians and the
whites who settle near or travel through
their reservation: the bad young men, led
by Sword Bearer, an ambitious chief, fired
into the Grow agency buildings; Gen. Kruger
and Gen. Armstrong demanded that the trlbo
surrender the guilty; this was refused, and
war began. Unless the Indians surrender
without contest, which is not their style,
matters will now take their usual course
The old and wcarisome details viii be pre-
sented: First, IA tedious campaign, ending
with n surprise and massacre of some Indian
camp; then slow hunt for the scattered
braves till the chiefs give up the fight; then
grand powWow about ''our white brotler'
and the great father ending in a demand
by the white commander il very plain Saxon,

Such has been the general round of Indian
war, but occasionally there is Il sensational
variation. it sometimes happens that an
American force is annihilated, and oftener,
perhaps than an Indian tribe is extirmi-
mated. And, oddly enough, such things have
been much more frequent in the last twenty
years than when the whites were few and the
land nearly all occupied by Indians, Philip
of Mount Hope organized great Indian con-
iedcracy in 1910; but he and nearly all his adj
herents were killed. On the 18th Of December

in the city on business and pleasure. Con.
versation, as might be expected, took a
| pretty wide range, in the course of which
Col. Matson, while declining to be inter.
viewed, remarked:
1.-THE next Congress is bound to agree
/ upon some plan to reduce the revenue of

a stop to the accumulation of large
surplus in the treasury, and am confident
that snch q plan will be devised and car

With regard to the reduction of taxation,

should be relieved OF some of the burden

Referring to gubernatorial candidates Of
the Democratic persuasion, the Colone,
said it was too early to discuss such propo-
sitions. The Colonel thought the time had
come for the Democracy of Indiana to
unite on Cleveland, as any division UPON
that question could only help the Repubii-

Are Women nIisarirs

Mr.. Howells says that women consider
all expenditures extrsvsgsnt that is not
directed toward dress, that they delight to
haggle over bargain, and show q misery
spirit in all their dealings. He SAYS they
patronize cheap restaurants, and that II
they give to charities 1t is in niggardly
manner.
In reply to these accusations it must be
-emem oered that unless the woman has a
fortune in her own right, or is working on
salary, that she has 10 money of her own
and is using the income or earnings of her
husband. There are q great variety of
husbands in the world, and while the ma
lority OF men want their wives to dress
well, they rarely give them a great
allowance for other purposes, and
necessarily are compelled to economic.
1t is lamentable fact that while the
duties, responsibilities and hard work of
some women exceed those of her husband
and she uncomplainingly shares ali of the
partnership burdens, the line is drawn
when 1t comes to the disposition of
the cash. IL she should want dollar she
is compelled to ask for il like a child,
and there is no woman of any spirit that
does not feel bumiliated by thus doing.
There is no good reason why a woman who
Is qualified to attend to the never-endine
duties of wife and mother, that does moi
